At the prestigious DocLands Film Festival, join Climate Reality leader and Bay Area member Kristin Tièche for the world premiere of her feature documentary about bat conservation and women in science. The director, producer, editor, and cinematographer will attend, as well as cast members Dr. Winifred Frick of Bat Conservation International and Corky Quirk of NorCal Bats (and her adorable rescued education bats). Get tickets now at the DocLands website.

DocLands says: “Against the backdrop of the sixth mass extinction, an all-women team of dedicated biologists sets out to save bats from a deadly fungal disease and are sent down a path of discovery that illuminates the connections between bat conservation and the spread of infectious disease. In stunning slow-motion cinematography, The Invisible Mammal quickly debunks the unsavory reputation that unfairly besmirches these fascinating creatures. We fear what we don’t understand and being the only mammals that can fly—primarily at night—bats defy the expectations of a small mammal and have surprising physiological and anatomical adaptations for survival. By immersing the audience viscerally and emotionally, director Kristin Tièche has succeeded in making bats understood more fully by bringing them into the limelight.”
